If the cut works well for you, cant hurt to duplicate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001616 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 15:55:17 +0000 Janet 2001616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m really picky about animal prints, so I’m another one that usually avoids those “unnatural color” animal prints — often the color combinations don’t appeal to me. </p> <p>That’s a cute dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001614 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 15:53:43 +0000 Anonymous 2001614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually prefer the faux faux, great colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001610 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 15:46:02 +0000 nemosmom 2001610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it depends on the colors in the animal print. I am less likely to wear unnatural animal prints in bright colors, because they just don't go with my other items. I like the colors in the faux-faux animal print above, but it is hard for me to turn away anything green...&nbsp; I agree with Gigi on picking up two distinctly different dresses if you are worried about splitting wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001398 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 02:16:53 +0000 Gigi 2001398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm one who eschews unnatural animal prints, ha. I don't know why; it's a poison eye for me.</p> <p>I personally try to avoid duplicating unless the item is an essential and pretty basic, like a t-shirt or something like that. But that's more of a variety issue. If you're wondering about splitting wears, I would get one dress in a light colorway and another in a dark one, or one in a print and one in a solid. Then I think you'll be less likely to split wears (at least that's how things work out for me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001351 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 00:28:16 +0000 unfrumped 2001351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, that’s a good idea. I think of the dot print as being a bit more classic &amp; having some longevity, wear to church, baby showers, even casual weddings, that sort of thing, and to work in summer if I could sort the footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001314 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 23:27:36 +0000 Suz 2001314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't eschew unnatural animal prints. I like them. The dress looks great in that colour!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not sure about duplicating the style. How about wearing it a while in the first version and seeing what you think?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dress-bandwagon#post-2001311 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 23:23:08 +0000 unfrumped 2001311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although Boden has a lot of great- looking dresses, I hadn’t really found “ mine”. Partly styles and partly colors/ patterns.</p> <p>Then I tried the Amelie in the black w/ pink dot. Seems like kind of a dittt theme going, but it’s because I can wear black if it’s “ lightened” with s lighter pattern and it’s actually better if it’s not black and optic white, thigh that can work.<br /> I tried the R and Tall and I think the Tall is the way to go as is just a bit below knee and the waist hits a tad lower. For this pattern I am aiming for the slightly more ladylike look. The sleeves a shorter than perfect for me but more than just a cap. It’s called chalky pink but it reads cooler to me and actually blends with an EF orchid cardigan I have.<br /> NOW my dilemma is I also ordered the “ faux - faux” leopard which is kind of green and black and pale blue. NOT because I wanted “ animal print” but because the colors are s nice “ medium dark” color and the colors in the print seem like I could wear with different colored and casual- ness of footwear.<br /> But I got the R first , so have to decide whether to order the T. The R reads more like a”fun-sun” dress which is not really part of my casual dressing style.<br /> Also wondering if 2 same style dresses will “ split wears” or if it’s good to get a few when style and color line up.<br /> Right now I still need to play with the R size for shoes and toppers to see if I could tell if the print itself would be versatile and kind of imagine it as a Tall. </p> <p>Back to the faux- faux leopard. I usually go with “ natural “ tones for “ leopard” but kind of think of some prints like this as just a nod to animal print. Trying not to think like Fashion Police.<br /> Or do some of you eschew Any prints that are animal but “ unnatural” colors? </p>
